Why do you say that all head stocks are a Model 500? The head stock does not determine the machine model number. It is the table system as you said. The head stock does not have a model number just a part number depending on what parts are inside and the casting.
Well I guess that I didn't express that point very well. :( Thanks for correcting me.

All of the head stocks were the same for all those models. It was the table system that determined the model #.
SS 500(09/1980), DC3300, jointer, bandsaw, belt sander, Strip Sander, drum sanders,molder, dado, biscuit joiner, universal lathe tool rest, Oneway talon chuck, router bits & chucks and a De Walt 735 planer,a #5,#6, block planes. ALL in a 100 square foot shop.

Truth be known, the vent plates have differed as the models were released. ;)

Depends upon who you ask! :rolleyes:

The 'tubes' are the same OD, but the wall thickness differs. Not a problem unless you have some from both versions and attempt to use them together/interchangeably. Very small difference, but enough to matter at times. The original has thicker walls.

Well, I guess I'll find out in a week or so when I set the thing up. With luck everything I have will go together, and that will be that. Then again, I normally don't have such luck...

Thanks for the information.
